Indian Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Group is to make use and aware of advanced manufacturing and engineering related to the mechanical field. Post corona, Manufacturing is a little neglected and is not getting the same limelight as other fields even though it's the backbone for most industries. With competition looming hot from neighboring countries, it is important to have a good digital circle where a high quality of information and networking is required so as to compete aggressively.

The aim is to expand:

CNC, VMC, HMC, VTL machining

Multiaxis machining

Additive manufacturing

Probing system for CNC machining

Other advanced technology.

This is also a forum for thought leaders, innovators and high-performing entrepreneurs to shoulder together to exchange information and ideas related to improvement in Productivity, Process, People, Business growth, leadership, exports, and governmental programs for benefit of all members of the group. We are trying to bridge the gap that physical industry associations cannot provide at this point in time.
